With almost exactly a quarter of the May traffic declared from 193 airports, the year on year passenger change, calculated at 3.9%, confirms a continuing demand strength, though one which is not entirely supportive of the Panglossian trumpetings of some recent press releases.

â—Š the rate of increase in France is 1.3%; Paris is up by just 0.7%.
